Napoleon’s generals do not walk down the Grands Boulevards anymore, but the beautiful condominiums and other prestigious real estate properties, often hidden from prying eyes and built around splendid gardens, remain as before, reminding us of the ‘follies’, these extravagant mansions that the said generals used as gifts to their mistresses.

Nowadays, this central district, located at the junction of the 8th, 10th and 17th arrondissements of Paris and very well served by the public transports, offers in its various places a blend of atmospheres and guarantees that residential Rue Saint-Georges is rather calm whereas Rue Marcadet or Rue Cadet are more lively, compared to the bustle of the Grands Boulevards. An exceptional district, it is today the most sought after one in Paris, mainly by the young families, delighted to find there ‘four places in one’, that is to say being in the heart of the city, lively day and night, with large volumes and the shops nearby.

La Butte Montmartre (Montmartre Hill) is one of the most exceptional places in Paris. A real village perched on a hillside, crossed by paved winding streets, dotted with houses and their gardens, terraces or even swimming pools, for some of them, the sector of la Butte is one of a type, preserved from the hustle of Parisian life. Filled with exceptional and prestigious real estate properties, certain buildings offer some breathtaking views all over Paris, as low as from the second floor. Montmartre is a peace haven, unaffected by the passing of time, with its houses and their gardens, to be discovered as you walk along its winding and hilly streets. Yet, below the hill, the 18th arrondissement surrounding it is quite working-class and still remains an underrated district, with a vast potential for the years to come.

Money side, you both have high and low prices. On the hilltop, the prices may reach 15.000 € per square meter, whereas below the hill, the average real estate price is 7.190 €, even less in the district of La Goutte d’Or, where the price per square meter still remains one of the lowest in the capital (an average of 6.200 €/sqm). But they are inexorably rising, as the arrondissement has known the highest price variation over 5 years (+23.6%), a figure witnessing of the renaissance undergone by this historical district.
